At Ridgeline Home Improvement, we’ve seen our fair share of roofing issues, and many of them come down to one thing: poor installation. As experienced Maine roofers, we understand the importance of getting the job done right the first time. A roof isn’t something you want to gamble on. That’s why this month, we’re here to share some signs to look for that indicate poor roof installation, so that you can ensure your roof is in top condition this season.
Common Signs of a Bad Roof Installation
Not all roof problems come from storms or old age. Sometimes, the issue is that the roof was never installed properly to begin with. Here are a few red flags that might point to a poor install:
- Crooked or loose shingles
- Flashing that’s missing or sloppily installed around chimneys, skylights, or vents
- Sagging or uneven sections along the roofline
- Water leaks, especially if the roof is relatively new
- Stains or mold in the attic, often from bad ventilation or moisture buildup
If you’ve noticed any of these issues, especially on a roof that’s only a few years old, it may be time to take a closer look.
Why Quality Installation Matters
A roof is more than just shingles. It’s a full system that includes underlayment, flashing, ventilation, and drainage — all of which need to work together to protect your home. If even one piece is poorly installed, it can lead to long-term damage, higher energy bills, and expensive repairs.
That’s why working with our experienced Maine roofers makes a difference. Training, attention to detail, and knowing how to follow proper building codes all factor into a roof that lasts.
